Getting to a Venetian DeepStack tournament should be the simplest decision a player makes all day. The Venetian Resort Las Vegas is a large property with two hotel towers, multiple vehicle entrances, separate parking garages and designated rideshare locations, so knowing where to go before leaving can prevent an unnecessary walk or a late arrival.

For most tournament players arriving by car, The Palazzo parking garage is the most practical starting point. The resort maintains a designated poker-player parking area on Level P2 near the Casino Elevators, while its current property map places the poker room on Level 2 toward the Palazzo side of the resort.

This guide explains self-parking, poker-player validation, valet service, rideshare pickup, airport transportation, taxis, public transit and the best way to plan an on-time arrival.

Before traveling, review the current DeepStack schedules to confirm the event date, starting time and registration details.

Quick recommendation: Enter The Palazzo garage from Sands Avenue, look for the signed poker parking area on P2 and use the Casino Elevators. Confirm your event’s room assignment after entering the property.

​

Where Should Venetian DeepStack Players Park?

The Venetian Resort operates separate garages for The Venetian and The Palazzo. Both provide access to the full resort, but they are not equally convenient for poker players.

​

The Palazzo Garage: Best for Poker-Room Access

The Palazzo garage has a designated poker parking area on Level P2, located in the left-hand corner near the Casino Elevators. The resort says signs identify the reserved area. Its official property map places the poker room on Level 2 on the Palazzo side of the Grand Canal Shoppes.

Drivers can enter The Palazzo garage from Sands Avenue. When traveling east on Sands Avenue after passing Las Vegas Boulevard, turn right at the first traffic light. The garage has four parking levels and a posted vehicle-height limit of approximately seven feet.

​

The Venetian Garage

The Venetian garage can be entered from Las Vegas Boulevard or from the shared Venetian–Harrah’s access road off Koval Lane behind the resort. It has 14 levels, a 6-foot-8-inch standard height limit and limited oversized parking on the ground level.

This garage may be more convenient for hotel guests checking into The Venetian tower, but tournament players should expect a longer indoor route to the poker room than they would typically encounter from the designated Palazzo poker parking area.

​

Venetian Parking Fees

The resort’s published self-parking rates, last verified in August 2026, are:

• Registered hotel guests: $20 per day.

• Non-hotel guests Monday through Thursday: $20 per day.

• Non-hotel guests Friday through Sunday: $25 per day.

• Valet parking: $40 per day.

• Event parking: Variable rates may apply during selected Sphere performances and other major events.

Registered hotel guests continue to pay the standard hotel-guest rate when event parking is active. Venetian Rewards Sapphire members and above receive complimentary self-parking, while Ruby members and above receive complimentary valet parking under the published rewards policy.

Parking prices, event designations and rewards benefits can change. Players should review the resort’s official parking page and posted garage signs before relying on a particular rate.

​

Can DeepStack Players Receive Free Parking?

Players who spend at least three hours in a tournament or cash game qualify for complimentary self-parking for that day under the resort’s published poker-room parking policy.

The player must visit a poker-room supervisor at the end of the session to confirm eligibility. The policy is based on time played, so registering for an event without reaching the three-hour requirement may not qualify.

Tournament players should handle validation before leaving the poker area. Waiting until reaching the garage could mean walking back through the resort to complete the process.

Nevada residents may also receive three hours of complimentary self-parking by scanning a valid Nevada driver’s license at a parking kiosk. That benefit is not available when event parking rates are in effect.

​

Driving to The Venetian and The Palazzo Garages

The Venetian Resort is located at:

3355 Las Vegas Boulevard South
Las Vegas, Nevada 89109

The Palazzo entrance is associated with:

3325 Las Vegas Boulevard South
Las Vegas, Nevada 89109

​

Approaching The Palazzo Garage

Sands Avenue generally provides the most direct approach for players targeting the P2 poker parking area. From Koval Lane, turn west onto Sands Avenue and follow signs for The Palazzo garage.

Drivers approaching from Las Vegas Boulevard can turn onto Sands Avenue and follow the resort’s posted parking directions. Traffic can back up around the Strip, Sands Avenue and the Sphere during concerts, conventions and major event periods.

​

Approaching The Venetian Garage

The Venetian garage is accessible from Las Vegas Boulevard and from the shared access road behind the resort off Koval Lane. The rear approach can sometimes help drivers avoid entering the busiest portion of Las Vegas Boulevard, although construction, special events and road closures can change normal traffic patterns.

Players should navigate to the specific garage rather than entering only “The Venetian” into a mapping application. A general destination may direct the driver to the hotel’s front entrance or valet area instead of self-parking.

​

Rideshare Pickup and Drop-Off

Uber and Lyft are available at the resort, but pickups and drop-offs use different locations.

​

Venetian Rideshare

• Pickup: Level 2 of The Venetian Guest Parking Garage.

• Drop-off: The Venetian Front Drive.

From The Venetian casino, follow the resort’s rideshare signs to the escalator leading toward the Grand Canal Shoppes. The marked corridor continues to the Level 2 waiting area outside the garage doors. Players can review the official Venetian rideshare directions for the Palazzo Lower Porte Cochere and Venetian Guest Parking Garage pickup areas.

​

Palazzo Rideshare

• Pickup: The Palazzo Lower Porte Cochere, near the fountain.

• Drop-off: The Palazzo Upper Porte Cochere.

The Palazzo pickup location may be more convenient after a tournament because it is on the same side of the property as the poker room. Players should select the correct Venetian or Palazzo pickup zone in the rideshare application before requesting a vehicle.

During busy evenings, wait until reaching the designated pickup area before booking. This reduces the chance that a driver arrives while the passenger is still navigating the resort.

​

Getting to The Venetian From Harry Reid International Airport

Taxis and rideshare services are the most straightforward airport options for most tournament travelers. Prices and travel times vary with demand, road conditions and event traffic. Review Harry Reid International Airport taxi and rideshare information for the latest terminal pickup instructions.

​

Uber and Lyft at the Airport

At Terminal 1, rideshare pickup is on Level 2 of the parking garage. Passengers should take the elevator near Door 2, cross the pedestrian bridge and use the marked pickup area.

At Terminal 3, pickup is on the Valet Level of the parking garage. Passengers can use the elevators near Doors 52, 54 or 56, cross the pedestrian bridge and descend to the Valet Level. Airport rideshare drop-offs use the standard departures curbs at both terminals.

Before entering a vehicle, confirm that the driver, license plate and vehicle description match the information shown in the application.

​

Airport Taxis

At Terminal 1, taxis are available outside baggage claim on the east side near Doors 1 through 4. At Terminal 3, taxis are available on Level Zero near Door 52.

At the resort, taxi lines are located at the south end of The Venetian Front Drive and at The Palazzo Lower Porte Cochere.

​

Rental Cars

A rental car can make sense for players staying away from the Strip or combining the tournament with travel elsewhere in Southern Nevada. The Venetian also has Hertz service on the property, while the airport’s main Rent-A-Car Center is located away from the terminals and is reached by dedicated airport shuttles.

Players staying entirely on or near the Strip should compare rental expenses, hotel parking and event parking with the cost of taxis or rideshare trips before booking a vehicle.

​

Using the Deuce Bus

RTC’s Deuce on the Strip operates 24 hours a day and connects major resorts with downtown Las Vegas and the South Strip Transit Terminal.

The current route includes a northbound Venetian stop. Southbound service lists Harrah’s as the nearby stop, requiring passengers to walk from the opposite side of the Strip corridor. Route frequency is generally higher during daytime and evening hours and lower overnight, but traffic and road construction can cause delays.

RTC currently publishes Strip and downtown passes for two hours, 24 hours and three days. At the time of review, those passes cost $6, $8 and $20 respectively.

The Deuce can be useful for players staying at another Strip resort, but buses are exposed to the same traffic congestion as other road vehicles. It is less predictable when a tournament has a firm start time. Check the official Deuce route map and schedule before relying on bus service for a fixed tournament starting time.

​

Using the Las Vegas Monorail

The nearest Las Vegas Monorail station is Harrah’s/The LINQ. The Monorail’s official visitor guidance directs Venetian passengers to exit the station and head north along Krueger Drive toward the resort.

The Monorail can be practical for players staying near MGM Grand, Horseshoe/Paris, Flamingo, the Las Vegas Convention Center, Westgate or SAHARA. It avoids Strip vehicle traffic but still requires a walk from the Harrah’s/The LINQ station.

Published operating hours begin at 7 a.m. daily. Service ends at midnight Monday, 2 a.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 3 a.m. Friday through Sunday. Hours can change, so players expecting a late finish should confirm that trains will still be operating or have a rideshare backup. The official Las Vegas Monorail route map identifies Harrah’s/The LINQ as the nearest station to The Venetian.

​

Walking From Nearby Strip Hotels

Walking can work for players staying at Harrah’s, The LINQ, Treasure Island, Wynn, Encore or other nearby properties. However, distances on the Strip often feel longer than they appear on a map because of pedestrian bridges, resort entrances and large indoor casino floors.

Las Vegas heat is another consideration. A walk that feels manageable after midnight may be uncomfortable before an afternoon tournament during warmer months.

Players walking to the resort should identify the Palazzo side of the property and follow indoor signs for the poker room. The official property map places the room on Level 2 and labels it as Poker Room 330.

​

Electric Vehicles, Motorcycles and Oversized Vehicles

The resort publishes several special-parking options:

• Electric vehicles: Charging is available in The Venetian garage on Level 5 and in The Palazzo garage on Levels P1 and P2. The published charging rate is $4 per hour, with a $15-per-hour idle fee after charging is complete.

• Motorcycles: Designated spaces are available near the Level 1 entrance of The Venetian garage and on Level P1 of The Palazzo garage.

• Oversized vehicles: Limited spaces are available on the ground level of The Venetian garage. Availability is first-come, first-served, trailers are prohibited and no RV hookups are provided.

• The Palazzo garage: Does not provide oversized-vehicle parking.

Drivers should verify clearance before entering. The standard height limit is 6 feet 8 inches at The Venetian and approximately 7 feet at The Palazzo.

​

How Early Should Players Arrive?

A player driving to an unfamiliar Las Vegas resort should build additional time into the trip for:

• Strip or Sands Avenue traffic.

• Finding the correct garage.

• Walking from the vehicle to the poker room.

• Obtaining or replacing a Venetian Rewards card.

• Locating the registration area.

• Completing tournament registration before it closes.

Arriving 30 minutes earlier than the expected door-to-table travel time provides a reasonable buffer under ordinary conditions. More time may be appropriate during weekends, conventions, Sphere performances, Formula 1-related disruptions or other major events.

Late registration may be available for many DeepStack tournaments, but relying on it can create unnecessary pressure and may cause a player to miss early levels.

​

Best Transportation Choice by Situation

Driving for the day: Use The Palazzo garage and look for poker parking on P2.

Staying at The Venetian or Palazzo: Use the garage associated with the hotel stay, then learn the indoor route to the poker room before tournament morning.

Arriving from the airport: Taxi or rideshare is usually the simplest direct option.

Staying elsewhere on the Strip: Compare rideshare with the Deuce or Monorail based on start time and expected tournament finish.

Players still choosing accommodations can compare nearby options in our guide to where to stay for Venetian tournament.

Expecting a late night: Use a car, taxi or rideshare unless public-transit operating hours have been confirmed.

Attending during a major event: Check for event parking rates, road restrictions and longer vehicle queues before leaving.

​

Final Thoughts

The best Venetian DeepStack parking plan for most local and day-trip players is straightforward: enter The Palazzo garage from Sands Avenue, park in the signed P2 poker area and use the Casino Elevators toward the Level 2 poker room.

Players using rideshare should remember that Palazzo pickups occur at the Lower Porte Cochere, while Venetian pickups use Level 2 of the guest parking garage. Airport travelers can choose between designated rideshare zones and taxi stands, while the Deuce and Monorail provide alternatives for players staying elsewhere on the Strip.

Parking rates, validation rules, transit schedules and traffic patterns can change. Confirm the latest details before traveling and leave enough time to reach the table without turning the trip through the garage into the first bad beat of the day.
